      Darrell, which manufacturer do you think it is?
    2. Bill Garvy
      It resembles a Rudolf Wachtler & L?nge, Mittweida. Please compare yours to this maker marked version. . . obverse: reverse:
    3. Bill Garvy
      No. . .
    4. Bill Garvy
      "Fr." = Friedlander "FR" = Frank & Reif I think. . .
    5. Bill Garvy
      Another "worn" example. . .

      Frank & Reif. . .

      Rick gets all the mint ones, and I get all the used examples. . . obverse: reverse: maker mark:

      From the "less mint" end of the spectrum. . . obverse: reverse: maker mark:

      On second look, I'd have to agree with you, Richard. . .

      Thank you for your kind words, Rick, but I don't have a"20" in 2nd Class. I would agree with you though; the cross looks good. I thought it could be a "20", or perhaps a mis-stamped "25". . . If it is a "20", it is a rare piece indeed, and the first one I have seen!

      Another WILM for comparison. . .
    14. Bill Garvy
      It's a beautiful unmarked Zimmermann or, perhaps, a Godet!

      I haven't a clue regarding the manufacturer, but allow me to cast another consenting vote as to its originality. It's a real pity about the rust; rust never sleeps. I don't think it's a Deschler though. It's missing that Deschler hump as illustrated below.

      An L/15. . . obverse: reverse:

      I thought to resurrect this thread with my latest addition, a "1" in 1st Class. Thank you, Micha! obverse: reverse: maker mark:
    18. Bill Garvy
      The reverse. . . note maker mark on pin. . .
    19. Bill Garvy
      I agree, an unmarked L/56. . . Here's a marked example that appears identical. . .
    20. Bill Garvy
      Here is the reverse. The ring is unmarked. . .
    21. Bill Garvy
      Here's a one-piece example. As you can see the detail is exquisite!
    22. Bill Garvy
      Here's an "S" in 2nd Class for comparison, Steve. . . obverse: reverse: maker mark: They apear to be identical. . .
    23. Bill Garvy
      Here is a "7" maker stamp for purposes of comparison from a Meybauer in 1st Class I received from Micha. . .
    24. Bill Garvy
      maker stamp on reverse of envelope. . .
